Review of Max Manus: Man of War (2008) by Sunny S — 01 Jan 2011
My favourite WW2 movie, why I hear you ask when there are so many films to chose from?
Firstly the acting is wonderful and everything to do with the film has been made to be as realistic as possible, right down to using the locations where the events took place.
This is the true story of the Norwegian hero Max Manus and his friends a bunch of saboteurs who risked their lives for the freedom of the Norwegian public. This is not the usual gung-ho Americanised war film, and probably why the US seem to vote this down, but it never outstays its welcome with a combination of action, tension, romance and even a touch of genuine humour.
If you do rent this film, please I implore you to watch the making of, and see the real people involved in the wonderful biographical, and the stories they tell, a tuly wonderful film which deserves a wider audience.
